6/8/2023 0 Comments Stephen king if it bleedsI’ve read several of King’s short story collections, and it looks like I’m going to have to go back and finally read his novella collections, too. If It Bleeds is a collection of four novellas-the literary form that is sneakily dethroning the short story to become my favorite type of prose fiction. And thankfully, If It Bleeds is a book that I admire quite a bit! And given that my adoration is not an allegiance-there are a few King books that I did not enjoy at all-I was nervous that this would have to be a negative critique. So when I set out to read his newest book, I knew that I had to write about it, whether I liked it or not. King was not my introduction to the genre, but he certainly solidified my obsession with it. The man is without a doubt the artist who has shaped my life the most, as the person to blame for my love of horror. I’ve been reading Stephen King since I was 12 years old, and yet this is my first time writing a review of his work. Does anyone else read “Dear Constant Reader” and feel like they are being addressed directly? Because I do.
